Brassica species and varieties commonly used for food include bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, choy sum, kale, kohlrabi, napa cabbage, rutabaga, turnip and some seeds used in the production of canola oil and the condiment mustard. Over 30 wild species and hybrids are in cultivation, plus numerous cultivars and hybrids of cultivated origin. Most are seasonal plants (annuals or biennials), but some are small shrubs. Brassica plants have been the subject of much scientific interest for their agricultural importance.

Delicious Flavor — with Benefits!

Did you know that cruciferous vegetables (Brassicas) like broccoli, kale, and cabbage are nutrient-dense, low-calorie powerhouses packed with vitamins C, E, K, and folate? They are renowned for high fiber content and unique sulfur-containing compounds (glucosinolates) that reduce cancer risk, lower inflammation, aid detoxification, and support heart health. Along with being known cancer preventers, they also support heart health, digestive health, immune system support and hormonal balance!
